I’m not exactly sure what’s going on in this trailer for High Octane Pictures’ A Rough Draft, but the visuals look pretty interesting. The English dub? Well, let’s not talk about the dub.
Directed by Sergey Mokritskiy and billed as a “Russian fantasy film,” A Rough Draft is based on a novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, in which a video game designer finds his identity wiped away, and sets out on a strange adventure involving parallel universes and giant Matryoshka robots.
The film, which stars Nikita Volkov, Yevgeny Tkachuk, and Yulia Peresild, originally released in Russia as Chernovik back in 2018, but will find its way over to the U.S. later this year.
